No. 60/476,019 entitled HairHighlight Device filed on Jun. 5, 2003, the contents of each of whichare hereby incorporated by reference as if set forth in their entirety.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The invention relates generally to hairpieces and is particularlydirected to hairpieces that provide additional hair to enhance existinghair and provide hair styling alternatives.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] Individuals often find it desirable to highlight or enhance theirexisting hair by introducing hair of a different color within theirexisting hair. This is generally achieved by dying or bleaching strandsof the existing hair to a different color whereby the strands of hairrun through the individual's existing hair to highlight the individual'sexisting, or natural hair.

[0004] A common method used to dye or bleach strands of hair withoutchanging the color of all of the existing hair includes placing arubberized swimming-type cap containing numerous small openings orholes, over the head. Clumps of the existing hair are drawn through thesmall openings with a small hook or other similar instrument and thendyed or bleached individually such that the dye or bleach does notcontact the bulk of the existing hair.

[0005] There are several problems with this method. One problem is thatthe pulling of the hair through the small openings in the cap is quitepainful and requires a great deal of time. An additional problem is thatthe harsh chemicals used to bleach or dye hair can cause severereactions and irritation to the scalp. Individuals who have strongreactions to the bleaches and dyes are not able to highlight their hairand alter their hairstyle using this method. Furthermore, the bleachingor dyeing of particular clumps of hair is only temporary and to maintainthis highlighting effect, the method must be repeated every few months.Of course, it is particularly difficult and time consuming to isolateand bleach or dye all of the particular clumps of hair that werepreviously treated. Moreover, this time consuming method is not easilyreversible or alterable. If the individual desires to have his or heroriginal hair color restored, it requires a great deal of time for thenatural hair color to grow out. Similarly, if an individual desires tochange the color of the bleached or dyed hair it would entail anothertime-consuming process.

[0006] In general, current methods for highlighting an individual's hairby coloring or bleaching portions of the individual's own hair arepainful, time-consuming process that are not readily reversible oralterable.

[0007] In addition to bleaching or dyeing their existing hair,individuals may also find it desirable to highlight or enhance theirexisting hair by introducing additional hair of a different length ortexture within their existing hair.

[0008] Various hairpieces and caps have been produced in the industry toenhance the look of an individual's existing hair by providingadditional hair to supplement the individual's existing hair. There arevarious shortcomings associated with the various hairpieces and capsavailable in the industry, however, and a more natural look with stylingflexibility is needed. It would therefore be desirable to provide animproved device that highlights or enhances a wearer's existing hair,provides a head of hair that can be easily styled, produces variousdifferent enhancement effects, and provides an enhanced hairstyle thatis easily reversible or alterable.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The invention provides a hairstyle enhancement apparatus to beworn on the head of a wearer. The apparatus may highlight the wearer'sexisting hair, that is, give the impression that some of the wearer'shair is of a different color, texture and/or length, or it may clearlysupplement the wearer's existing or natural hair.

[0023]FIG. 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of a hairstyle enhancementapparatus according to the invention. Hairstyle enhancement apparatus 1includes frame 4 which may be a peripheral flexible wire frame. In theillustrated embodiment, frame 1 forms a closed loop, i.e., a halo, butin other exemplary embodiments, frame 4 may include an opening. Frame 4is generally round and in one exemplary embodiment, frame 4 may becircular, while in other exemplary embodiments, frame 4 may take onother shapes such as an oval or ellipse. Hairstyle enhancement apparatus1 is designed to fit flexibly and comfortably on the head of the wearer.Frame 4 may be a metal wire, a plastic wire or a wire formed of aresiliently deformable material. Frame 4 is designed to fit snugly andcomfortably on the wearer's head.

[0024] A grid of filaments 6 is coupled to and supported by frame 4 andis disposed internally with respect peripheral frame 4. Filaments 6 thatmake up the grid of filaments are designed to be thin and may be formedof various materials and in one exemplary embodiment, filaments 6 mayeach be formed of a convex monofilament. In various exemplaryembodiments, filaments 6 may be formed of various suitable materialssuch as elastic materials. Hairstyle enhancement apparatus 1 may besized so that frame 4 extends substantially circumferentially around thewearer's head and in another exemplary embodiment, frame 4 may extendabout approximately two-thirds of the wearer's scalp. The gridarrangement is intended to be exemplary only and in other exemplaryembodiments, the grid may take on other shapes.

[0025] The grid of filaments 6 is woven to contour to the wearer's headand advantageously includes two crowns. In the illustrated arrangement,the grid of filaments include left crown 14 and right crown 16.Applicants have discovered that the double-crown arrangementadvantageously enables hairstyle enhancement apparatus 1 to fitcomfortably in following the contours of the wearer's head and providesa natural look.

[0026] In the exemplary embodiment, hairstyle enhancement apparatus 1includes a plurality of fastening members, comb clips 18 that areattached to frame 4 and fastenable to a wearer's existing hair. Althoughthree comb clips 18 are shown disposed on the sides and rear ofhairstyle enhancement apparatus 1 in the exemplary embodiment, more orless than three fastening members may be used in other exemplaryembodiments and they may be positioned differently and may be devicesother than comb clips 18. Comb clips 18 each include self locking bar 20which provides for locking the comb clips to the wearer's existing hairand for securing frame 4 to the wearer's scalp. In an exemplaryembodiment in which frame 4 is made of an elastic material and/or ifframe 4 fits snugly and comfortably on the wearer's head without afastening member, a fastening member such as comb clips 18 may not beneeded.

[0027] At a plurality of locations on filaments 6 of the grid offilaments, a tuft or clump of hair is attached to the grid. The clumpsof hair may be attached in an ordered pattern or they may be attached ina random or non-ordered manner. Clumps of hair 8A-8J are examples of theplurality of clumps of hair attached to filaments 6 in variousembodiments. The clumps of hair may include human hair or artificialhair. Synthetic fibers such as Eleura, Dynal, or Kane Kaion may be usedfor example. The clumps of hair may be of any color which may differfrom, or be the same as, the wearer's existing hair. In an exemplaryembodiment, the clumps of hair attached to the grid of filaments 6, mayinclude hair of different color. Within this arrangement, each clump ofhair may include hair of one color and clumps of different color may beused, or different color hairs may be provided within each clump ofhair, i.e. multiple colors of hair within a clump. The clumps of hairmay include hair of different lengths, for example, length 28 ofexemplary clump of hair 8A is shown to be greater than length 26 ofanother exemplary clump of hair 8B. The volume or density of the clumpsof hair may also differ. Still referring to FIG. 1, the volume of clumpof hair 8F is shown to be greater than the volume of clump of hair 8G.In another embodiment, the clumps of hair may include clumps of hair ofdifferent textures. In one embodiment, clumps of hair may be fastened tothe grid such that they fixedly extend in different directions. Forexample, clump of hair 8I extends along direction 22 which differs fromdirection 20 along which clump of hair 8J extends. In another exemplaryembodiment, the clumps of hair may be rotatably attached to filaments 6such that the clump of hair has the ability to swivel from side to sideor rotate around filament 6. Such flexibility at attachment point 10 maybe provided in a number of ways. In one exemplary embodiment, specialglues may be used to provide flexibility at attachment point 10. Thespecial glues may include various epoxies, or other suitable glues thatprovide flexibility. According to the embodiment in which flexibility isprovided at attachment point 10, any of the clumps of hair 8A-8J may bebrushed or combed in any desired direction. Therefore, different clumpsof hair 8A-8J attached to the grid at different locations may be brushedor combed in different directions. According to this exemplaryembodiment, the double crowned structure of hairstyle enhancementapparatus 1 is particularly advantageous as it enables the differentclumps of hair 8A-8J of hairstyle enhancement apparatus 1 to be partedon the left or right.

[0028] Although the exemplary hair enhancement apparatus shown in FIG. 1only includes ten exemplary clumps of hair 8A-8J, it should beunderstood that this plurality of clumps of hair, their relativepositions, relative lengths, relative volumes, and so on, are intendedto be exemplary only. The hairstyle enhancement apparatus of theinvention may include various numbers of additional or lesser clumps ofhair attached at various random or ordered locations in variousexemplary embodiments. In one exemplary embodiment, a number of clumpsof hair may be located in one location in close proximity to oneanother.
